The admission in the foregoing is more
frank than creditable to the Gazette's
party. Everybody knows that the
reason for Democratic opposition to
Dakota's admission into the Union has
ever been its political complexion. The
admission was no doubt inadvertently
made. but we dare say the Gazette feels
better for making it.

United Church Evening Servfce-An
Interesting Occasion.
AS announced in the papers, Rev. Mr..
Cheney, tract society colporteur whose
home and field is in Georgia, gave an inter
esting address to the few assembled at the
usual Tuesday evening service. Although
only one~eighth colored, with hair and COM
plexion predominantly that of the white race.
he was born in slavery. He has suffered the
contumely and prosecutions to which the
colored race, especially colored teachers and
preachers, are subjected in the South. Manv
thrilling experiences were related as he gave
an account of his life from his earliest reeol-
lection. At one time, pursued by blood
hounds, he was shot in the head, ard thus
one eye was put out. Wearing glasses this
defect is not observable. He says while the
colored people in the south part of Georgia
are oppressed, enslaved and kept in igno-
rance as before the war, the white trash p re-
crowded up into the northern part of The
State in as bad condition of ignorance. and
rebellion as in the darkest days of 'cne war.
The rapid advance of the colored race as
shown in the Atlanta university, in education
compared with the white students of the rich
ly endowed State university is simply won
derful. So also in the schools the earnest
purpose of the colored boys and girls, and
those in more advanced years, pushes than
forward much faster than those of the white
race.
Rev. Mr. Billiard introduced the speaker
and conducted the services.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-In the House of Com
mons this evening Mr.. E, Robertson, Liberal
member for Dundee, referring to the pro-
claiming of the Irish National league said he
had examined the returns upon which the
proclamation was issued and failed to find
any mention of the league. He asked if the
government would submit evidence upon
which the House would be enabled to dis
charge its duty aud decide whether the proc
lamation declaring the league dangerous on
specified grounds of criminality should be
confirmed. Mr.. Smith, the government
leader, said it was not the governments in
tention to submit any additional papers.

rial cheers.)
Lord Harrington did not know that the
government intended to proclaim the league
until after the decision had been reached.
As soon as he learned of the governments
intention he sent a strong remonstrance to
Lord Salisbury Lord Harrington believes
the proclaiming ill-advised, dangerous and
unnecessary.
Lord Harrington has written letter to I.

hopes to induce Mr.. Russell to modify his de-
cision and asks him to attend conference to-
